APH Shipping Grid (mine)

Published:

Description

First attempt at filling the shipping grid I made. I added three more characters to fill a few ships - Hong Kong, OC North Korea, and Tony the alien - and filled my favourite ships according to the Homestuck quadrants. Okay, to read this:
-Horizontal lines are that character's feelings, vertical are others' feelings towards them.
-Multiple coloured squares = conflicted feelings. Lithuania's feelings towards Russia and Poland are quite a mess :)
-Red = matesprits/love (flushed quadrant).
-Pink = moirails (pale quadrant). Not just friendship, as the purpose is to balance the partner's dangerous or difficult traits; for example, Belarus and South Korea could be good friends but couldn't be moirails because they'd only encourage each other's brother-stalking.
-Blue = friendship/family.
-Green = platonic dislike/fear/irritation.
-Black = kismeses (caliginous quadrant). Fated rivals, bonded by a combination of loathing and attraction.
-Dark grey = auspistice, pale grey = auspisticed (ashen quadrant). The auspistice is the peacemaker for two rivals, to ensure they stay faithful to their kismeses.

Couple explanations for some of the chosen quadrants;
-Lithuania's feelings for Poland include black because on the show he seemed really irritated by Poland's obliviousness and previous bullying.
-Yeah, I'm a Balticest shipper, either flushed or pale. Yay for obscure ships.
-I think of APH China and America as having cautious respect/rivalry for each other, hence the combined blue and green.
-Even though America and Russia are at peace now, I still like them as kismeses, but they'd also make cute friends.
-Ever since I heard the US has to go through Sweden's embassy for contact with North Korea, that's been my personal APH ashen ship even though NK's not an official character. I like the idea of America and North Korea getting in a fight at a conference and then Sweden looms over them and goes "QUIT IT Y'R BOTHERIN' M'WIFE" and they both scream and hug in terror ^_^
-I actually saw fic involving North Korea hanging out with Sealand. It was weirdly adorable.
-I can't remember who it was, but I'd like to thank someone who filled out a quadrant meme for naming Hong Kong as China and England's auspistice. I think it works well.

Now I guess my challenge is to go through this again and see if I can get everyone a full quadrant set. Hehe.

England and Sealand are brothers. Why aren't they blue? It means family, right?
